Troy's Birthday and Church

Happy Birthday Troy!!!

Today Troy celebrated his 28th birthday!

Katelyn and Kylie were so excited that it was their Dad's birthday and everyone at church today knew it was Troy's birthday because the girls told everyone, "Guess what! Today is our Dad's birthday!!"

Wow, me and the kids are SO extremely lucky to have this guy in our life. He is an amazing husband and dad. Seriously, I can't believe how lucky I got to marry someone like him, someone that loves me and his children more than I ever thought possible.

These two girls made me so proud today. It was their first primary program ever and they did such a great job singing and then saying their parts loud, clear, and memorized in the microphone. They worked so hard to memorize their parts and were able to say them perfectly without help. They also made me a little sad today as well because it is days like these that I see them growing up way too fast.

And speaking of growing up, Mason gets to share his half birthday with his dad's birthday. He turned 18 months old today. He had his first day of nursery today. Yay!! We finally get to learn at church again, haha. I was worried about dropping him off, but he didn't cry at all and when we came to pick him up after church, he didn't want to go. He had a great time.

Troy was able to go to the Apple orchard with us on Friday.
This is the third year in Iowa with pumpkin patches and apple orchards and Troy has never been able to go with us until this year. School was just too busy. We are really liking how third year is going. I am pretty sure the kids thought it was a million times more fun having Dad there.

Troy and the girls were busy finding things hidden in the maze that they had on their card to get a prize and Mason was just taking his time and exploring everything.
Me and him eventually got separated from them and had to find our own way out.
